I'll tell you it took a couple of hours tracking this little problem down and involved a hex file viewer.. it wasn't pretty *s*

You want to try something that will drive you crazy?

date1 = DATE()
date2 = date1 + .1

? date1,date2

? date1=date2 && = .F. !!!


I ran into this problem with some code that was adding non-integer values to dates. Boy, talk about a tough lesson to learn (and track down)!

You look at the dates in the debugger and everything looks cool. I guess some things are more equal than others no matter how equal they may "appear".
